Freematics Telematics Kit #1 – Not so cool!?!?!

It was working for a while. I decided to tidy it up and use a breadboard. After plugging into the breadboard I tried to download a different program into the Nano, which worked. At some point the Nano’s driver in Windows stopped working. So I installed this http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/CDM/CDM%20v2.12.06%20WHQL%20Certified.zip. This also worked for a while. The next day it wouldn’t connect 😦

Everytime I tried to upload it would fail with “…avrdud…not in sync resp=0xca”. I eventually found this http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=73748.0 which provides instructions to test the board by performing a loopback test. I did that and the return from loopback test was “NON GENUINE DEVICE FOUND!”. Just great 😦
